| A tribute site to the
short-lived prime time version of You
Can't Do That On Television that
aired in the fall of 1979 every Tuesday night at
7:30pm on CTV all across Canada which had some of
the same skits like the dome, living room,
dungeon and classroom. WTYO
was a fast-paced sketch comedy for youth hosted
by Christine McGlade
and linked together from the familiar YCDTOTV
link set. Usually, one or two storylines would
run throughout each episode, most often unfolding
on the link set. The series also had Laugh In veteran Ruth Buzzi from Hollywood to play the female adult roles as Les Lye played the male adult roles and had some of the same slapstick humor like the pie in the face and in a couple of episodes the YCDTOTV traditional green slime. They also had a handful of other kids from YCDTOTV like Kevin Somers, Jonathan Gebert, Marc Baillon, Kevin Schenk, Rodney Helal and Lisa Ruddy. Most of the episodes there was a musical guest by a Canadian band in their area of Ottawa, Ontario performing a top hit song of theirs. However the series was losing money afterwards and couldn't afford to bring any more bands in or keep the series running due to poor ratings since it was a bad time slot for a kids show so after the 14th episode aired in late December of 1979 the plug was pulled from the series.
